From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle

3.0

I am so happy I did not give up on this book! The book grabbed me right away, although I’m not used to the style of writing; but I did not REALLY enjoy the book until page 238, when the author describes his near death experience...after that I couldn’t put the book down until I finished. This book made me laugh, it made me cry, but most of all it made me think. Really think. Recovery is impossible without a safe place to recover. Both physically and mentally. Not everyone is afforded a safe place. I’m thankful Jesse Thistle found his safe place, that he wrote this book and that I picked it up and read it.
